Ingredients

  • 500 g beef liver, thinly sliced
  • 2 large onions, sliced into rings
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place sliced liver in a bowl, cover with milk, and soak for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  2. Heat 1–2 tablespoons oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook onions for 8–10 minutes until soft and caramelized, then remove and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil or butter to the skillet.
  5. Cook liver slices in a single layer for 2–3 minutes per side until browned but slightly pink inside.
  6. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  7. Return onions to the skillet and mix gently.
  8. Cook for 1 more minute, then serve immediately garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Soaking liver in milk reduces bitterness and improves texture.
  • Avoid overcooking to keep liver tender.
  • Dredging in flour creates a slightly crisp exterior.
  • Add balsamic vinegar for a sweet tangy finish.
  • Best served fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
